Mushkin launches new SSD’s leveraging 3d NAND

Following our publishing of the 1TB Reactor we received word that mushkin was launching a new line of 3D nand equipped SSD’s. Considering our interactions with the Reactor lineup these new drives should offer excellent performance at mainstream pricing.

Complementing the recently extended(with a 2TB model) Reactor line is the new Reactor Armor3d lineup. Launching alongside it is the Triactor 3D a related TLC drive we haven’t had any experience with to date. The table below includes all the drives listed in the press release however there are product pages for additional models including a 960GB Reactor Armor3D and Triactors at both 256GB and an impressive 2Tb capacity.
